In this week's Phoenix, I review a show with Chris Teret, Man Forever, and the Guitar Cloud. (I'll post the link when it's live online.)Here's the link.

I shot some video of each of the elements of that show, and here they are:

Maine has an online "freedom watchdog," available on YouTube, with very interesting viewpoints and questions. While perhaps more right-of-center than others, Jarrod LeBlanc nevertheless takes a fairly even-keeled approach to issues, and is direct and clear with his concerns.

Check him out!

Here's the first video (remember those?) from Twisted Roots' album Vol. I (on Rat Pak Records). The song is called "Hollow Earth." And the video is by Zenfilm.

Richard Pelletier of Juke Joint Video here in town stopped by today and dropped off a video of Civil Disturbance live at the Station, from back in June. Take a look:

The loonies at the Oddfellow Theater and EepyBird.com are up to even more mischief. This time, they're in an office environment.

We have just one question: are those reusable? (Or at least recyclable?)
